Sound of Imagination
When the Door Stays Shut
The latch decides. The room does not argue.
Still
Listen
Held residual
The address is kept. The cue is not filed yet. No player until the archive receives the tone.
The room the tone keeps
Dream logic as a closed leaf. The door is not locked for drama. It is shut because the next room has not been named.
What the frequency does
The cue, when filed, should refuse entry — a held interval against the jamb, then nothing.
After the last bar
Until the file arrives the address is the refusal. Neighbours: Under the Lattice, Memory in the Walls.
